API Readiness – Gallop and SmartBear Joint Webinar

API Readiness – Cigniti and SmartBear Joint Webinar

ABOUT WEBINAR

Delivering quality software with drastically reduced product development times has never been as challenging as it is today. This puts tremendous pressure on development and test teams. Traditionally IT teams mitigated by compromising on non-functional quality aspects during their first few releases. This approach though was not ideal still allowed IT teams to operate with minimal risks.

However, with the rise of disruptive technologies (via SOA principles) and adoption of digital technologies in the systems of engagement, quality issues today get amplified in the social media resulting in loss of brand credibility and trust. For early risk mitigation, IT teams need pragmatic processes, tools and techniques to support them deliver higher quality.

This Webinar will help IT teams:

  • Increase awareness to the API Testing
  • Understand challenges faced during the application journey
  • Learn proven solutions that can be adopted to be API Ready

Webinar on Business Transformation using Test Advisory Services

ABOUT WEBINAR

Today, in the 'age of customer', businesses are increasingly challenged to become digital and be available everywhere and every time. This puts a huge demand on their IT function and thereby on its entire value chain and especially on its Testing function which is crucial to the overall success of the product. To thrive in these markets, organizations have to transform from traditional ways of working to new age models of delivering high performance outcomes. While Business Transformation is the key to meeting the market demands and also to assure a higher ROI, the journey of transformation is fraught with many risks, which if not handled well may de-rail the entire program and its efforts.

Having helped many clients in their transformational journeys, we at Gallop have designed a robust framework that can help in addressing the challenges and risks. Our framework is designed such that any transformation journey is first kicked off with a holistic assessment of the testing function to understand the key strengths and opportunities for improvements. We also provide a detailed set of practical recommendations along with a roadmap to achieve the business objectives.

This webinar throws light on some of the best practices and capabilities to understand how a transformation should be planned, designed and executed.

In this Webinar you will learn how to:

  • Operate with a consistent and focused testing approach
  • Have a predictable testing duration and cost
  • Reduce the time and money spent on resolving production defects
  • Have a quantitative approach for identifying release criteria

Abstract

In the digital world, brands offering superior customer experience are the ones that are bound to eventually succeed. Customer (User) experience testing is the key to making this happen.

As per Forrester Report -

  • 52% of consumers said that a bad mobile user experience made them less likely to engage with a company
  • About 60% of customers will look elsewhere if they can’t find what they need on a mobile website right away, and about 35% say that they will switch to a competitor’s app after a bad app experience

In this session Raghu will cover the recent trends that are empowering today’s customers and how user experience is becoming a key enabler for success of digital businesses. Thus the ability to understand the nuances of responsive web design, customer-centric testing of apps, becomes critical to ensure a great user experience. This includes, testing across multiple mobile platforms and devices for usability, performance along with deeper understanding of cognitive behaviours and preferences.

In this session, the speaker shares the practical experiences, insights and proven methods that will be key to ensuring superior customer experience and staying ahead in the digital business.
